The Ultimate 2022 NBA Playoffs Thread - Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors (Game 1 Friday 3 June)

[Memphis]

JB shouldn't be allowed to bring the ball up he is so careless.

 

[LB#16]

First lead change since game two.

 

[Iceman!]

Lavine? maybe Dame? one of them could take a little pay cut.

Would be a huge cut for Lavine, no chance he takes that to go to Brooklyn. Dame is contracted and even if the Blazers agree to move him the Nets don't have any chance of making a competitive package for him.

The best bet they have at a chip is re-signing Kyrie and gambling on him not being a head case... As bad as that sounds

 

[Westy Bogan]

Can Jaylen Brown dribble without having the ball stolen?

Looks like under 10s

IKR, like how many times does it have to happen before he or the team realizes maybe don't give him the ball to dribble up the floor?

 

[Memphis]

Both teams shooting like shit.

It’s probably the one weakness the Celtics have, they are lacking good ball handlers. Think he does it at times just to shoulder some of the load

 

[Memphis]

Lowry is worse than Smart tbh when it comes to flopping.

That is our biggest weakness imo, don't have a decent ball handler that can take care of the ball especially in the crunch times.

 

[Memphis]

Big Al dribbles better than JB wow.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Big Al the only decent player out there

 

[Memphis]

This one is going down to the last minute wouldn't be surprised if both teams stayed under 100 total points.

Both teams playing so cautiously.

 

[Memphis]

Big Al the only decent player out there

And rob williams been decent.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

And rob williams been decent.

Yeah forgot him just love Big Al him and Smart are the two I like the most

 

[Memphis]

10-0 run to end the third beautiful.

 

[LB#16]

Needed everyone to step up. Complete garbage third quarter. Can't wait to hear the BS about getting better and making this sting after noone stepped up when it was there.

 

[DT_35]

Na

Yep

 

[Pistol Night]

Miami certainly need a Herro

 

[Richard Cranium]

Took me 15 seconds to decide I hate everyone in that clip.

 

[peternorth]

Series over. Shake hands and get the finals started

 

[Marcel Proust]

Congrats Boston

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Series over. Shake hands and get the finals started

Dallas winning lol

 

[Toffee Lion]

But the Miami Heat have PJ Tucker, how is this possible?

In all honesty, I ain't surprised. I saw some really good signs from the Celtics in the Bucks series that made me believe they have what it takes to win the ECF.

I do take selfish solace knowing the Middleton-less Bucks pushed the potential NBA Finalists to 7 games.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Golden State vs Boston would make for a very interesting NBA finals.

I also take solace from the fact the depleted LA Lakers tied the season series with boston.
